# I just took my VFT out of dormancy and I am so exited to watch it…

_Posted by Sam on 2024-03-23_

I just took my VFT out of dormancy and I am so exited to watch it grow! I have it in sphagnum moss with a reservoir with distilled water and a dome over it to acclimate it back to the conditions in my house. Any tips?

If any of the traps turn black I would recommend pruning. You will see more growth that way. Also even though people say it can be in water all the time be careful. You just want to make sure the dirt/moss is damp not soaking wet. Although no one talks about it, it is possible to over water these. Good luck! It looks great out of dormancy can’t say mine ever look that good right out of dormancy!
